Generally, I love her singing in English, but there are little things, like the above, or at the end of Dynamite on JCHI, that "You are....", that just do not flow. I imagine her English as she sings it is pretty rehearsed. Note on "Fly Me to the Moon" her accent is coming through much more than usual, and I think it is because she is reading a lyric sheet, and has not "rehearsed" the accent for the words of this song.

I do love that her English has a British accent. It is very apparent (to me) on Genjitsu and la salle de baine...

I also wonder how she works out the lyrics that she writes in English. She must have had help all along, since it is fairly flawlessly executed, and I can't imagine her written English is that good. My written English isn't that good.
